Bio:
Growing up as a young child, Ken always wanted to be a pirate. His father, Kuridane, was a pirate, well known for his witty tactics and intelligence when navigating the dangerous seas, but he wasn't the strongest or most intimidating pirate. Kuridane used his wits to win battles and gain recognition. Ken was promised a spot on his father's crew on his 13th birthday, and in the years leading up to that day he trained himself diligently on the North Blue island of Decome. After many years of pirating the seas, Kuridane had only gained a 11,000,000 bounty on his head. His crew, wanting more fame and power began to slowly turn their collective backs on him. Kuridane was never one to put himself in the spotlight, as he never wanted to be a target. To win back the respect of his crew, he set up a heist of a more notorious pirate crew(the one Eden's mother belonged to). The plan was successful, but it did not win the confidence of his crew back considering Kuridane chose not to share what he had stolen.
On Ken's 13th birthday, his father and crew appeared on the shore of Decome. Ken was finally about to become a pirate, but his day would soon be ruined. Shortly after his father's arrival to Decome, a much larger pirate ship appeared and they were immediately hostile. The foreign pirate crew took Kuridane's crew hostage and demanded he return what was stolen. Kuridane denied his theft of any treasure and tried his best to think himself out of the situation and save his crew, but he was severely outmatched. His crew, fed up to no end decided to betray him. They sold their captain out and even helped to capture and eventually slaughter him in front of Ken and the rest of Ken's village. The pirates that were once loyal to Kuridane slayed him with no remorse, and followed up by burning their former flag while joining the very crew who had taken them hostage. Ken felt powerless, and he was frozen in fear and disbelief. He watched on, helplessly, as his father's ship was ravaged, but ultimately the foreign pirates found nothing. In their fury, they decided to destroy Ken's native village leaving nothing but bodies and ashes. Ken got away, his outlook already permanently shifted. His image of pirates was now wrong and he wanted to see nothing but their destruction. Before the foreign pirate crew that had humiliated his father and destroyed his village had the chance to leave, Ken made sure the faces of the perpatrators were burned into his mind. He would never forget, and he would exact revenge. Once they were out of sight, Ken searched his father's ravaged ship. Kuridane had shared a secret area upon his ship with his son before, and Ken figured the 'treasure' that he had stolen had to be there.
Once Ken made his way to the cabin, he opened a secret compartment that led to a small room. The room contained nothing more but a lone brown bag. When he pulled on the drawstring and peered inside, the contents of the bag shocked him. It was a scarlet colored fruit, shaped like a kiwi. Ken heard the stories but he never actually saw a devil fruit up close or seen it's power. Despite knowing it's weaknesses, Ken wasted no time in devouring the distasteful devil fruit. He had consumed the Dou Dou no Mi.
Ken hastily learned to control his newly acquired abilities. Though he has not yet reached it's full power, he is quite proficient with it. Ken thought the best way to defend his father and wipe the world of the pirate scum was to join the fight against them. Quickly, Ken joined the Marines and moved up to the rank of Commander. He has shown more than enough wisdom and capabilities to earn this rank even at age 18. His own goal is to at sometime become an Admiral and do all he can to wipe out the pirate population. At the moment, Ken is in control of his own ship. He holds command over about 30 Marines. He is currently in East Blue, on the hunt for any notorious pirates, still with vengeance on his mind.
Crew Position: Marine Ranked Commander
Bounty: N/A
Equipment:
- Two pistols, both in leather holsters on either side of his hips.
- Whistling Gloves - Double layered, crimson red gloves with different sized holes located through both gloves. These gloves are made of a special material that amplifies Ken's physical and long range abilities. When moving his hands, these gloves emit a sharp whistling sound.
Abilities(Fighting Abilities):
Dou Dou no Mi (Sound Sound Fruit) - This devil fruit is a small single red fruit, in the shape of a kiwi. It is a Paramecia type devil fruit, giving the user the ability to manipulate sound and sound waves in many different ways. Ken has learned fairly quickly, and is currently beginning to take his control over the Dou Dou Fruit to the next level. It has greatly attributed to his fast rising in the ranks of the Marines.
Hush and Intensify: Ken has mastered the ability to intensify certain sound waves, or hush them. An example being he can dispatch his voice to extremely far distances so that a large amount of people can hear him, even from miles away. When hushing sound waves, he can either lower the volume of certain sounds or completely disperse to the point where he can make a person seem mute. This is very useful in confusing multiple enemies so that they cannot communicate through sound, or concealing his own sound emissions for stealth.
Sonic Eruption: Ken manipulates sound and converts it into a powerful physical force in the form of a shock wave to use when punching or kicking. Thanks to the whistling gloves, this technique is far greater when he is punching, but it is still very powerful when used when kicking. The sheer force behind this technique can send the larges enemies flying away with great damage. When looking at Ken, he may not seem like the most physically powerful but this technique at least gives the image of incredible strength. When this technique lands it usually makes the sound of a small explosion.
Sonic Mimic: Ken has the simple ability to perfectly mimic any voice or sound he has heard. It is quite useful in trying to confuse enemies.
Sonic Torpedo: Ken converts sound waves into a physical force beneath his feet to launch in a certain direction at incredible speeds. Can also be used mid-air.
Sonic Shot: Ken's long ranged attack. Sonic Shot is a shock wave can be emitted from his mouth, hands, or feet as a destructive physical force. Since it is sound, the attack itself is invisible but the whistling sound it creates while traveling allows opponents to gauge how close the attack is and take action accordingly.
Sonic Splitter: Ken is able to create vibrations around certain objects to greatly increase their sharpness and cutting power.
Sonic Expansion: This technique is a powerful defensive technique where Ken releases a sonic shock wave 360 degrees around his body to deflect or block oncoming assaults.
Sonic Emission: This is currently Ken's most destructive attack. He is only reluctant to use it when there are innocent people or comrades around. Sonic Emission allows Ken to release a deafening sound of high amplitude in the form of a scream. This ability is strong enough to cause a great amount of damage to nearby structures while blasting targets away with superior power. At the very least the ability will leave those that are directly involved with a ringing sound in their ears as well as temporary, partial deafness.
Unique Skills:
- Ken is incredibly efficient in a fighting style centered around defense, and countering opponents with quick strikes. It is a smooth fighting style that uses the opponents momentum against them. He calls it the Eagles Claw.
- Ken can also use a pistol or sword very efficiently in combat, and even switch between the two effortlessly. He is also quite handy at reading maps.
- His real weapon is his mind. Ken is known to be one of the best young strategists in the Marines.
Weaknesses:
- Normal devil fruit weaknesses.
- Known to accidentally hurt comrades in combat, or destroy nearby structures without total control over his destructive capabilities.
Other: Is a strong believer in Absolute Justice.
- Ken is basically addicted to sunflower seeds. He never goes around without carrying a large bag of them on his person and eating them throughout each day. Usually calm, he will begin to become enraged and uneasy if without his seeds for too long.
